Tips:
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables are more flavorful and nutritious than frozen or canned vegetables.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables lose their flavor and nutrients. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your pasta primavera a more complex flavor and texture.
- Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or white wine for a bit of acidity.
- Serve immediately: Pasta primavera is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.
